    My unbiased review...

    Note I didn't see the whole fight, still have to do so, and will report on that tomorrow. But I watched this fight with the spanish commentary (which I don't speak) so I believe my view to be objective...

    I had it 4-1 Haye, 3-2 if you wanted to be generous to Wlad in the 3rd or 4th. I thought Haye made Wlad look really foolish, honestly. When I came back to boxing websites afterwards and saw people screaming about his performance, I was honestly shocked. I thought he totally took Wlad out of his game early on.

    Still have to watch the rest of the fight, but that's my thoughts on rounds 1-5.

    Yea I heard he won the 12th, but I was really shocked to read the scores were so wide...I didn't think Wlad did ANYTHING in the first 4 rounds of note, and started picking it up in the 5th.

    He kept his hands low and fought like a short fighter, it was really odd to see. I thought Haye totally took his confidence early and was shocked to see Haye ended up losing!

    I actually thought it was exciting in its own way (just seeing Wlad get tagged some was fun to see even though I'm a fan of his) and was shocked to see everyone gave it so much ****. It was suspenseful to me. Maybe commentary makes that much of a difference?

    I haven't rewatched the fight, but I definitely didn't have Haye winning the 1st half. You can maybe give him the 3rd round, but Wlad was the effective aggressor and landing more punches, even if they weren't big. Haye had even more trouble, and threw less in the 2nd half.

    Wlad didn't land anything the first two rounds. And I don't mean that figuratively in the slightest. I mean he actually didn't land a single punch.

    Haye landed maybe 3 each round. But that's a lot better than Wlad did.

    Jesus Christ Epsilon. I thought you were a bigger boxing fan than this bs you're posting. Haye won maybe 3 rounds out of the fight. Very *****-ass fight by both guys, but Haye up 4 to 1 after 5 rounds. You're ******ed.:patsch

    I gave him a couple early rounds, and the 12th. Other than that he was pretty much dominated , or at least he didnt do enough to win the rounds.

    Watch the fight again, you clearly did not see it the first time.

    I'd like to challenge any of you writing back here to watch the first 5 rounds with no sound. The 5th round of course was Wlad's...I believe the 4th was pretty close.

    But 1-3 and probably 4 I thought Wlad did completely **** all. He didn't land a punch! How do you get any credit for not landing anything at all?

    If you could so much as show me a replay of Haye getting hit with something in the first 4 rounds I'd be astounded.

    I'm not saying Haye is that good, or Wlad is ****, but what I'm saying is that Wlad was totally out of his game the first 1/3rd of the fight.

    1st round was clearly a Klitschko round. You can catch the fight on youtube (still). In the first, the jab wasn't landing cleanly, but it did land on several occassions while Haye basically landed nothing.
    I had Haye winning 2 rounds of the first 4.
